trying to find out what size my front brake line fitings are?these are the male fitting ends that hook to the rubber hose by the frame,it then hooks into the distribution block .these lines feed both front brakes.(steel lines)are they metric or std size? and what thread?vehicle is 2003 dodge dakota quad cab 4x4.thanks mike

Dodge really messed up the brakes in my opinion.

the fittings at the master cylinder, RWAL/ABS solenoids, etc. are metric and use the odd bubble flares. --calipers also use metric banjo fittings, but the wheel cylinders used SAE double flare fittings.

so are the fittings that hook into the rubber hose(the ones that hook to the opposite end of banjo ) on the frame side metric or standard thread size,can i use an adapter from napa to convert to std 3/16 fittings on the brake line,mine lines are rusted and trying to get the parts i need to replace them.thanks mike

I went thru the same hassle on my 2000 ram a few years ago but i can,t remember what size the metric end of the adapters was but it was a bubble type flare.

my local napa only had the adapters that came on a short piece of brake line which then you have to use a union as well which = to many connections.

i ended up finding a large selection of the correct adapters that screw directly into the port/line end etc. at Orielly,s made by Plews.
